Dark Matter Search with Direction Sensitive Scintillators

We have carried out the dark matter search with a 116g direction-sensitive stilbene crystal in Kamioka Observatory. With the crystal fixed to the earth, we searched the modulation of thelight output. No modulation signal was found due to the small size of the detector crystal and the higher background rate yet to be eliminated. However, it demonstrated the effectiveness of the method of direction sensitive search for the dark matter with an implementation of the anisotropic organic scintillation crystal.
